Fast forward to: me staying up until 9:30am, when I finally went to sleep (cursing at myself all the while). Woke up a few hours later and headed to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longbeachcomiccon.com\/\">Long Beach Comic Expo<\/a>, where I hung out with <a href=\"http:\/\/duss005.deviantart.com\/\">Dustin<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ink4884.deviantart.com\/\">Peter<\/a> Nguyen (they are not related!), and drew this. Peter was kind enough to lend me a pen so that I could ink it. I drew another piece too, which I came home and inked, and will be posted this week <i>in a timely manner<\/i>, unlike today&#8217;s sketch.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been in sort of a rut lately, in addition to being busy with assorted other things. It was very eye opening to me that I was able to go hang with some friends, and even on very little sleep, bust out two drawings very quickly. I guess even weirdo recluses such as myself need to occasionally leave our secret lairs and get a change of scenery.<\/p>\n<p>(But seriously, Angry Birds is really fun.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, like a jerk, I waste hours and hours playing Angry Birds, a game meant to be a casual distraction, which has instead become an obsessive&#8230; obsession.
